October: The Month of BTS and K-Pop Consolidation
October is, without a doubt, the most anticipated month of the decade for followers of Korean culture in Peru.
BTS in Lima: The Global Phenomenon on October 8 and 9
The years of waiting are over! All seven members of BTS (RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook) have confirmed Lima as a key double-stop on their 2026 Reunion World Tour. This event is not just a concert; it is a socio-economic phenomenon that positions Peru as the most coveted destination for Hallyu tourism in South America.
It is estimated that the arrival of the ARMY from neighboring countries like Ecuador, Bolivia, and Colombia will inject millions into the local economy, filling hotels and saturating the capital’s tourist circuits before and after the main dates.
Where will the concert be?
While local producers remain tight-lipped, the National Stadium is the top candidate due to its capacity (over 45,000 people) and strategic location. Other sources suggest that, given the scale of the production, a larger venue could be considered if pre-sales break expected records.
Estimated Prices and Zones (Based on 2026 Leaks)
To help fans plan their savings, here is a breakdown of the approximate prices in Soles (PEN). Note that these amounts may vary depending on the ticket vendor and service fees:
| Suggested Zone | Approx. Price (Soles) | Description |
| VIP / Purple Zone | S/ 3,400 – S/ 4,600 | Closest area, includes exclusive benefits and VIP packages. |
| Platinum A / B | S/ 1,700 – S/ 2,550 | Excellent visibility on the field in front of the stage. |
| East / West (Stands) | S/ 800 – S/ 1,600 | Side stands with numbered seating. |

Note for the ARMY: We recommend staying tuned for exclusive pre-sales with banks like BBVA or Interbank, which usually offer a 15% discount.
Why is this a historic moment for tourism?
The impact of BTS goes beyond the stadium. In October 2026, Lima is expected to become a “theme city.” From “cupsleeve” cafes in Miraflores to Korean food fairs in Downtown Lima, the flow of tourists will not only attend the show but also visit the Huaca Pucllana, the Magic Water Circuit, and, of course, take the opportunity to travel to Cusco and Machu Picchu.
